>If it was cut from the original, and it wasn't a critical scene, why >did you decide to expand and release it anyway?

Because I thought people would be interested in the background. Because I thought it was interesting and entertaining and deserved not to molder away on the cutting room floor just because we didn't want G&H to run that much longer. Because I thought it would be fun. Pick any one you like.

>Couldn't you have fit that cut scene into another story?

I'm not sure how you figure that would work chronologically, I mean, you already said you were lost (despite the clearly marked date) with it coming out as a separate piece. Being dropped into the middle of some other story that's happening (as the rest of the Suite now will be) weeks or months later would make no narrative sense at all.
